Although Shopee are the main sales channels for almost every online business in Thailand, managing the backend remains a major time and cost burden for many sellers. One of the biggest challenges is updating stock levels manually every day. Sellers have to log in to each platform individually and adjust inventory item by item, which takes even more time when dealing with hundreds or thousands of SKUs. This repetitive work like checking stock, updating orders, and correcting shipping details often requires multiple staff and leaves little time to focus on sales growth or marketing.
This problem becomes even more serious when existing systems cannot directly connect with Shopee. To sync the data, businesses usually have to hire developers to customize and build integrations, which involves high costs and long development times, plus ongoing maintenance fees. Without real-time syncing, there’s also a risk of overselling, meaning selling more than the actual stock available, which leads to order cancellations and damages the store’s ratings and reputation.
Another challenge is that Shopee's order data is often separated from the main system. This is because Shopee's store functionality is detailed and has various statuses, making it difficult to consolidate, analyze, and use for business planning. At the same time, the large amount of manual work increases the chance of errors, including incorrect data entry, wrong tracking numbers, or missing status updates.
All of these issues affect stock levels, reporting, and inventory valuation, which are directly linked to accounting management. What might seem like small problems can quickly change into bigger issues that impact the overall business unexpectedly.
